the water doesn't get warmer if you wait to jump. sometimes we wait too long for the perfect time, thinking fear will leave and things will feel easier tomorrow. but the truth is, the water doesn't get warmer if you wait to jump. the chance will still scare you. the risk will still feel risky. the unknown will still be unknown. waiting only teaches fear to grow louder. some doors open only when you move. some peace comes only after the first step. you don't need to feel fully ready to begin. courage is not the asence of fear, it is moving with it. jump anyway, because nothing changes until you do.
